Just a small project of mine for the Great Library (Link at end of post).
I am creating a 'book' that is basicaly a list of species on NS, I intend to get as many as possible, compile and organize them, and post them for public consumption in the Library (a link to the specific book will be posted here).
Please provide the following:
Species Name: (What your species commonly refers to itself as, any other names are fine as well)
Scientific Name: (A fancy latin-sounding name for your species, not required, but if you dont provide one I will most likely throw one in)
Species Classification: (Reptillian, human(oid), Elvish, Dwarfish, Silicoid, etc. etc.)
(Picture, not required, please DO NOT include tags)
Avg Lifespan: (A rough estimate of how long an average member of this species would live)
Avg. Height: (How tall a normal member of this species gets)
Avg. Weight: (How much an average member of this species would wiegh, preferably in pounds/ounces/tons)
Skin Type: (Chitin, scales, feathers, or the good 'ol average joe human-skin)
Prefered Environment: (Where this species likes to live)
Native to: (Where this species comes from)
Approximate Population: (About how many members of this species exist at time of posting)
Strengths: (What your species is good or excells at)
Weaknesses: (What your species is bad at)
Other notes: (Whatever else you think of, can be as long as you like)
Repost of the above without the bits to be deleted:

Other notes:
Feel free to re-order, change, or otherwise modify the above, but I would prefer if you got most of them in.
The last time I did this (Wow...that was pre-jolt, AGES ago) it got to something like six pages, the first post was nearly sixteen sheets of paper (I put it into MS word and checked the page number) WITHOUT pictures.
Im hoping for that kind of success again ^_^
If this works out well, I will repost in II to get the species' there as well, and NS can finnaly have a decent species databse to research on :P
To get things rolling:
Species Name: Goblins
Scientific Name: [i]Vitiosus Viridis Tergum, Blood Moon Varient
Species Classification: Greenskins
Avg Lifespan: 60-70
Avg. Height: 3ft 6in
Avg. Weight: 90-110lbs
Skin Type: Semi-scaled
Prefered Environment: Underground
Native to: Blood Moon
Approximate Population: 449,000,000
Strengths: Digging, blowing things up, reproducing, quick repair jobs
Weaknesses: Thinking, blowing themselves up, long term repairs
Other notes:
Goblins are evolved (the Author thinks) from an ancient species of mammal-like reptiles, who (according to many scientists) went extinct long before dinosaurs even existed.
Presumaby some of the smaller versions survived to modern times, gradualy straightening their spines and developing all the standard primate-like features. Long periods spent underground have givin Goblins very accurate senses, as can be seen in their large facial features, the eyes, ears and nose, that is. Mouthes as well, since Goblins can eat almost anything they can fit in their throat. There are records of Goblins digesting small rocks.
Goblin society is generaly tribal, they live in a clan system vaugly similar to the human fuedal system, except that instead of passing from heir to heir, important offices are decided by trial-by-combat, where participants must kill the other contenders before they can claim the office they seek, this generaly keeps incumbants out.

Species Name: Tsurani Human
Scientific Name: Tsuranus Homosapian
Species Classification: Genetic Altered Human
Avg Lifespan: 130 Years
Avg. Height: 2 Meters
Avg. Weight: 130 kg
Skin Type: Generally very Dark Skin tones, as normal human
Prefered Environment: North African
Native to: Egypt
Approximate Population: 3.419 billion
Strengths: All forms of Health, includes recovery and Immune System
Weaknesses: Very little skill to live without tools, Must be taught at young age or will become feral due to DNA strand mix up
Other notes: Highly powerful Health, thanks to the Naturally Made Organic nanites placed in the body produced in the Ninri Gland.
Species Name: Mechafox
Scientific Name: Caninus Cybertron
Species Classification: Mechanical Monstrosity
Avg Lifespan: 8yrs
Avg. Height: 1 1/2 foot
Avg. Weight: 120 kg
Skin Type: Shiny Silicon
Prefered Environment: Inland areas and deserts, exessive water tends to rust its joints.
Native to: The Imaginary Nation of Massmurder
Approximate Population: Unknown
Strengths: Rusting, Belching Fumes, Breaking Down
Weaknesses: Rusting, Belching Fumes, Breaking Down
Other notes: A silicon based life form, the Mechafox evolved from unknown origins, suddenly appearing in the middle of the desert. Being a very new species, it seems God has to iron out a few teething troubles in his latest brainwave.
Species Name: Croceus dragonous (does anyone know latin for dragon)
Scientific Name: Golden Forest Dragon
Species Classification: This is hotly debated. Many believe they are related to dinosaurs though their is no evidence of this. They are lizard-like in appearance, but are actually more related to birds.
Avg Lifespan: 127 years
Avg. Height: 5ft high, 20 ft long
Avg. Weight: 320 lbs
Skin Type: scales
Prefered Environment: Temperate and tropical forests
Native to: Der Drache
Approximate Population: 15000
Strengths: Arguably the best flyer amoung dragons. It is swift. It's also surprisingly adaptable and able to thrive in various environments.
Weaknesses: Its bones are thin and hollow, making this creature more fragile then other dragons. It's bright yellow to golden skin tone means it easily stands out in its environment.
Other notes: This is the national animal of Der Drache and is only one of numerous dragon species that inhabit the nation. Dragons very greatly in size and this is one of the smallest and tamest of the dragon species. Though less agressive then other dragons this species is more numerous and more likely to be found in populated areas so is responsible for the greatest number of human attacks, and has devestated the cattle industry. Like most flying dragons, it is surprisingly lightweight for its mass.
Species Name: Dragon-dog
Scientific Name: Canis dragonous
Species Classification: This is a cross between dogs and dragons. The recent emergenence of this species further complicates the debate over classification. Up until this point most scientists were happy giving dragons their own classification seperate from birds, mammals, and reptiles. Some do not consider this species a dragon at all and there is much confusion as to classify it as a mammal or a dragon.
Avg Lifespan: 72 years
Avg. Height: 5ft high, 9 ft long
Avg. Weight: 980 lbs
Skin Type: scales and fur
Prefered Environment: this species thrives in all environments
Native to: Der Drache
Approximate Population: <100
Strengths: An amazingly strong muscular creature
Weaknesses: It does not have any physical weaknesses, but is considered very dumb.
Other notes: Though this species is protected by the government they are illegally hunted. How to deal with these creatures is hotly debated since they have devestated the cattle industry in the southern regions of Der Drache
Species Name: Feather-bellied Dragon
Scientific Name: Penna dragonous
Species Classification: this is just one of numerous dragon species
Avg Lifespan: 150 years
Avg. Height: 12 ft high, 120 ft long
Avg. Weight: 2000 lbs
Skin Type: scales and feathers
Prefered Environment: High elevations in the northern mountains of Der Drache. They perfer cold climates.
Native to: Der Drache
Approximate Population: 497
Strengths: These creatures are surprisingly adapted to cold climates. Its thick layer of feathers on its chest help keep it warm.
Weaknesses: These creatures are awkward flyers
Other notes: This species is considered endangered.
